Cain can easily balance out his lack of DC experience with a good VP. Someone with decent conservative credentials but knows how Washington works.

My choices:

1. Newt Gingrich. Normally, I’d say a guy like Newt is too old and too unlikeable, but, in this environment, I think he might be what Cain needs to learn Washington’s ways quickly and efficiently.

2. Paul Ryan. Younger and better looking than Newt, and reliably conservative, with DC experience.

3. Jim DeMint - self explanatory.

How about a foreign policy powerhouse, and announce in advance that they will be Secretary of State?

With Cain’s health concern, it should be someone presently Presidential with gravitas, not a Palin, Ryan, Rubio, or Bachmann. Newt’s not a bad call. DeMint is on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, so would fill that bill.

I can think of a lot of good reasons not to pick Condi Rice, but her name comes to mind.

A Cain VP would need:

(1) Strong foreign policy experience
(2) Be a GOP insider/establishment type (otherwise the GOP establishment will do it’s best to undercut Cain’s campaign)
(3) Have a long political background (so he can be sold as someone that can help Cain with the ins and outs of Washington)

Ideally, that would be a senator like...(I can’t believe I’m suggesting this)...Lindsey Graham?

Yea, he’s a RINO on domestic policy, but he’s solid (and respected by both sides and the MSM) on foreign policy.

He’s got the charimsa of a duck, but Cain’s got enough to make up for it.

I agree with your choices.

I can agree with that.

And with Ron Paul polling at 12%, Alex Jones' head exploded.

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

“Cain can easily balance out his lack of DC experience with a good VP. Someone with decent conservative credentials but knows how Washington works.”

A Midwest candidate would be good.

John Kasich, Mike Pence ...

Ryan is a good choice too.

Newt might be good but is another Georgian. He’d make a good CoS or domestic advisor.
